Making Time for Bliss: A Weekend Retreat back
March 20 - March 22, 2015
Theme: MAKING TIME FOR BLISS. "Americans have so many hobbies they don't have time for bliss" — Yogananda. Even in our spiritual practices the desire to attain spiritual goals or vanquish bad behaviors often lingers leaving us with an agenda for our prayer or meditation practice and leaving little room just to sit in awe of creation. We will let go of our aspirations for the weekend and take time simply to rejoice in the sound of the wind and the blue of the sky as we rest in the bliss of creation. The meditations will include reflections on the teachings of Thomas Berry, Teilhard de Chardin, Yoganada and others.
Leader: Ian White Maher is the founding pastor of Original Blessing, a Unitarian Universalist community based in Brooklyn, NY. Original Blessing is a spiritually ambitious movement seeking God in order to transform our world through creative worship, social justice and compassionate community.
